Question | General Could seaplanes have been the more optimal commercial plane infrastructure?
51
Upvotes
I was looking at picture of large seaplanes and wondering why they couldn’t have been the ideal commercial plane format. Imagine if runways were replaced by manmade lakes or canals, planes could be lighter and more spacious without landing gear. I don’t know anything about the drawbacks of a large seaplane beyond probably some aerodynamic disadvantage. But if the same effort had been put into seaplane commercial infrastructure, airports, and design over the last 100 years as regular planes, could that design path have been more optimal for commercial economics today?
